515948 - “Latest Version” in the developer dashboard is not updated

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect, P3)

Description

[fcp]

Attachment: Screenshot of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers showing old “Latest Version”

Pointed out by Dave Garrett in bug 515835 comment 3.  At least for some add-ons, the “Latest Version” shown in the developer dashboard is not updated when a developer uploads a new (sandboxed) version.

Dave pointed out that this might be a regression related to 515835.  I do not know how it worked before (so I cannot tell whether this is a regression or not), but anyway this behavior is undesired.  I am filing it as a separate bug since it is a different issue from 515835 at least on surface.  Feel free to mark this as a duplicate if the cause turns out to be the same.

Timeline in the case of my add-on, Link Status:
June 27: nomination of the add-on was approved and version 1.1 was made public.
August 14: I uploaded version 1.2.
September 10: I uploaded version 1.3.

Actual Results:
Since June 27, the developer dashboard has been showing
> Latest Version: 1.1 (1 Public file)
all the time.

Expected Results:
The “Latest Version” shown in the developer dashboard should be updated when a developer uploads a new (sandboxed) version.

I think this is fixed in the new dev tools:

https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/developers/addons

Pages that are still on PHP will be out of date, but anything on python should be insta-update.
